kAnchI varadarAja

As for reciting Desika stotras in Varadaraja temple, there are court orders which specifically state when these stotras must be recited. It is customary. Desika stotras are recited by vadakalais who walk the entire stretch to Pazhayaseevaram.

Otoh, tenkalais wilfully try to spoil the end of the ghoshti by reciting other stotras - which has no customary basis. The laziness of Kanchi tenkalais is also well known. Tenkalais don’t seem to not have enough devotion to actually do such labor. They will only come at the final point by to create ruckus.

Melukote

Originally only RDP was there. SDP wasnt allowed. The right to recite SDP was given by tipu sultan to tks. tenkalai got recitation rights in Melkote only by begging Tipu who gave them a sanad for the same in 1783. One yr before the massacre at melkote. - RL
